and its original name was Ferenc József híd (Franz Joseph Bridge, 1896) named after Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary and the King of Bohemia.
Szabadság híd for us stands for the strong historic and cultural bonds between our countries in Central Europe.

During the past two summers cars were banned from the bridge and it quickly became a tourist venue and a meeting point for both locals and holidaymakers where people could get together and have a picnic or even do yoga exercises.
